A female fourth stage larva of Meningonema, probably of M. peruzzii Orihel et Esslinger, 1973, was recovered in Cameroon, from the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient harbouring Loa loa, but without any neurological signs. This observation is the first human case of Meningonema (Filarioidea Splendidofilariinae) which usually parasitizes the central nervous system of African Cercopithecinae. However, as indicated by Orihel and Esslinger, it seems probable that the perstans-like microfilariae described in cases of cerebral filariasis in Zimbabwe belonged to the same species.
在喀麦隆，从一名感染罗阿丝虫但无任何神经症状的患者脑脊液中发现了一条曼氏丝虫的雌性第四期幼虫，可能是1973年奥里赫尔和埃斯林格所描述的佩鲁齐曼氏丝虫。这一观察结果是曼氏丝虫（丝虫亚目华丽丝虫科）感染人类的首例病例，该寄生虫通常寄生于非洲猕猴亚科动物的中枢神经系统。然而，正如奥里赫尔和埃斯林格所指出的，在津巴布韦脑丝虫病病例中描述的类链尾微丝蚴似乎很可能属于同一物种。
